Rare appearance in Game 1 loss Wright closed Wednesday's 138-135 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals with no counting stats in zero minutes.
Impact Wright made an appearance for just the second time these playoffs due purely to the fact Jalen Brunson was in foul trouble. Despite being a strong defender, Wright has been unable to carve out a consistent role in New York, something which certainly isn't out of the ordinary for fringe players under Tom Thibodeau. Barring injuries to others, Wright is likely going to spend the majority of his time riding the pine.
MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to bench Sunday Wright won't start during Sunday's game against the Suns.
Impact Jalen Brunson (ankle) will return from a 15-game absence Sunday, pushing Wright to the bench. The veteran guard has averaged 1.4 points and 1.2 assists across only 6.6 minutes per game in his last five appearances with the second unit.

Plays well in win Wright closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 victory over Portland.
Impact The Knicks are still extremely thin in the backcourt with Jalen Brunson (ankle), Miles McBride (ankle) and Cameron Payne (ankle) all on the shelf, and Wright is making the most of his opportunity. In his last two appearances, Wright has averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers on a combined 8-of-15 shooting from the field.

Anunoby leads the way as Knicks win 116-107 to complete regular-season sweep of Bucks
OG Anunoby scored 20 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter and the New York Knicks defeated Milwaukee 116-107 on Friday to hand the Bucks their third consecutive lossMARCH 29 • Associated Press
Promoted to starting role Wright will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Impact The Knicks are thin in their backcourt, as they'll be without Jalen Brunson (groin), Miles McBride (ankle) and Cameron Payne (ankle). This means Wright is essentially the "next man up" in the depth chart, so he'll get the nod as the nominal point guard. Wright has made just two starts this season, logging 27 and 33 minutes in a two-game stretch between Nov. 13 and Nov. 16 against the Pistons and Hornets, respectively. The Knicks went 1-1 in those games, with Wright tallying seven points, seven rebounds, 14 assists, three steals and three blocks in total.

Cleared to play Saturday Wright (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Wright popped up on Friday's injury report due to an illness, but he's recovered enough to be available for Saturday's contest. He'll serve in a rotational role in the backcourt off the bench while Miles McBride and Cam Payne get most of the minutes due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle).
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Listed questionable for Saturday Wright is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an illness.
Impact While Wright is iffy to suit up against Golden State, he hasn't been a regular member of the rotation since landing in New York. Miles McBride should dominate the minutes at point guard for the Knicks on Saturday in Jalen Brunson's (ankle) stead.
